Turnaround was really fast and Mike kept me kept me in the loop throughout. Super knowledgeable, straight-up about what the guitar needed, and patient with all my questions.

My guitar came with active pickups that I didn't really like, and when they stopped working I came…read moreto Nomadic to replace them altogether. Steve did a great job, the guitar came with a 5 way switch and 2 humbuckers so he wired it up to go bridge, bridge single, split bridge/neck, neck single and neck. I can't say enough good things plus Steve is a great guy to boot. I will be back.

So happy that Robert Cauer sent me here, and I knew if he was referring, that Lisa and Gabriel must…read morebe great and they are. I came into a bass, so to speak, that had come unglued all the way from one C bout to the other and was left that way for probably a year. The soundpost had also rolled away as you can imagine. Lisa and / or Gabriel fixed it up in a week. If you want a bass or need one repaired, this is the place. I am a cellist so I know luthiers etc. Highly recommend Los Angeles Bass Works. Street parking in front, or use a lot next door with validation. Call the shop first for instructions and because "by appointment." Fun old funky building on the National Register of Historic Places. Funky elevator to the second floor (hold the button in the whole time!)

Not only the best in LA, but some of the best double bass luthiers/technicians in the world. Very…read moreeasy to work with and always fitting me in for last minute emergencies. I can't recommend this business higher. Thank you so much

I was looking for someone who could teach Lap Steele Guitar and came across Mage Music. We spent…read moresome time communicating how we might accomplish my goals, unfortunately Mage could not travel the miles to my location and I could not travel to hers, so she reached out to her industry contacts for support. Mage came up with a couple of suggestions that she thought would be a good fit, my new contacts an I could not make good connections. Having met Mage eye-to-eye I have the feeling she is very good at what she instructs, I believe she will provide the very best instruction in guitar and music theory for the money.

Her voice lessons are taught in a very comfortable, supportive, and non-threatening environment, which really helped my daughter feel at ease while learning. We've noticed great improvement in both technique and vocal control, and my daughter genuinely enjoys every session. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and encouraging voice coach!

I'd always been interested in singing, but after hearing myself attempt to sing in the past, I was…read moreconvinced I was tone-deaf and felt discouraged. After my acting teacher recommended all actors do vocal training, I took the opportunity to try it. As an adult beginner with no real singing experience, searching for a place to start was intimidating, but I'm so glad I took the leap with this studio. Through the Vocal Foundation program with Stuart Wheeler, I've learned that I'm indeed NOT tone-deaf, and that with the right training and technique, I've been able to unlock a part of my voice that I've not been able to access until now. Stuart is a highly-skilled teacher, singer, and musician, with the ability to articulate complex musical terms in a way that easily clicks in my mind (and I'm not an easy person to teach!). He is a patient, compassionate instructor who provides a safe, fun space to learn and explore. I've enjoyed being able to choose the songs that we work on. My lessons have always been insightful and surprisingly empowering. In just a few months, I've gained much more control and confidence in my own voice, expanded my range, learned to be more mentally focused and present, and have sharpened my listening skills. I can now sing for pleasure without being so self-conscious. My vocal training has even helped improve my piano and guitar practice! The session rates are reasonable and the location/parking are convenient. I haven't had a chance to work directly with Jane but she has been lovely over our communications. Overall, I've gained so much from my training here and I look forward to continuing.
